Summary/Abstract: The article applies the schizoanalytic approach to migration theory and focuses on the tension between the constantly growing flow of a mobile workforce and the power of the contemporary “liquid” capital. By juxtaposing the theses posed by critical migration scholars (Sassen, Mezzadra, Neilson, Tsianos, Papadopoulos, Trimikliniotis) with three concepts from Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari (the apparatus of capture; becoming; the nomadic war machine), the article elaborates on new modes of subversion. It claims they could be useful to labour and migration movements nowadays. Although such an approach does not provide any specific and verified means of resistance, it reveals what patterns of struggle are nowadays needed to oppose the global network of surveillance and exploitation.aimed to make free mobility possible are becoming its main source of danger.
